Video Documentation: High Power LED dimming via Web from Jones Merc on Vimeo.
Using shiftr.io, an Arduino Yun and any sort of publishing device to shiftr (in this case a webpage publishes commands to increase or decrease LED brightness) allows me to control a lamp. This means I can also use gestures to trigger the publishing of those commands.
To get a dimmable lamp I will switch to LED instead of common light bulbs. Three high power LEDs should emit enough light to imitate a normal light bulb. I will place the LEDs in the same lamp shade as the one I was using in the first prototype with the relay. Now that I don’t need the relay with the lamp anymore, I will reuse the relay with the ventilator.
